We...Whoops, I meant to say that Oregon pounded WSU. We haven't played Arizona yet, but I assume we will pound them as well. <BR/><BR/>So, all I meant was that this week, Oregon and USC both faced weak opponents, and while the Ducks dominated, USC struggled.<BR/><BR/>It certainly is a crazy season, though.WWBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422440151099777936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-27949227612006163832007-10-14T11:17:00.000-06:002007-10-14T11:17:00.000-06:00WWB -I'm glad that you felt motivated to leave a c...WWB -<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you felt motivated to leave a comment. Rankings are pretty much useless for any purpose other than generating debate, especially in a season as bizarre as this one. The basic answer to your question is that I think USC is a better team than Oregon -- and the Ducks will have a chance to prove me wrong later this season. <BR/><BR/>To be fair, I should probably rank Oregon higher, because I think they're a pretty good team. However, the "Oregon pounded Arizona while USC squeaked out a victory" kind of logic is not the basis for my rankings. Eventually, that's a snake that eats its own tail -- for example, look at the Big XII: Oklahoma lost to Colorado while Kansas State had no trouble with the Buffs. Does that mean K-State should be higher than the Sooners in my rankings? I don't think there are very many people who would say so.<BR/><BR/>Once again, thanks for the comment -- and I'll actually be rooting for your Ducks when they face the Trojans.JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-13058805243230812112007-10-14T07:39:00.000-06:002007-10-14T07:39:00.000-06:00Oh, wait.

That's dumb, especially considering their one loss was a near-miss vs. Cal.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile I see you've moved USC up one spot from last week.<BR/><BR/>Yet USC struggled sgainst a weak opponent, beating Arizona by a touchdown, while Oregon absolutely pounded the similarly-weak Arizona.<BR/><BR/>What gives?WWBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422440151099777936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-1304470730960495632007-10-14T07:35:00.000-06:002007-10-14T07:35:00.000-06:00What on earth is Oregon doing at #12?!They were #9...What on earth is Oregon doing at #12?!<BR/><BR/>They were #9 in the AP rankings, then demolished an unworthy opponent while teams ahead of them lost. And you move them four spots *back*?<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I don't think much of your rankings. And I'd probably find this just as ridiculous if I wasn't an Oregon fan, although I might not be moved to leave a comment about it.WWBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422440151099777936noreply@blogger.com
